.NET Fringe is back!

And we’re back!

Yes it’s true, .NET Fringe is back! We’re gathering back in Portland from July 10th through 12th for 3 days of unadulterated .NET OSS awesomeness. Last year we had a magical event, and we heard you tell us that you couldn’t wait for next year. So this year we’re back and we’re taking it up a notch! You can hear more about why we’re doing .NET Fringe and our plans for this year in our recent Channel 9 Interview.

The Topics

We’ve got a rich and diverse set of topics this year that is very timely and relevant to what is happening in the industry. Just look at the list!

The Speakers

And an excellent lineup of speakers starting with our keynotes. We are thrilled that the list includes Don Syme, the creator of F#!

Lightning Talks

This year back by popular demand we’ll be having about 15 Lightning talks split across the two days. Got an idea you’d like to speak on, we’re open for submissions.

Workshops

Once again we’ll have workshops free for attendees on July 10th. Aaron Stannard is back with more AKKA.NET goodness, and we have several other workshops. Stay tuned to dotnetfringe.org.

Everything else

There’s a ton of other cool stuff, like another awesome venue, the Geek Train from Seattle, a bike ride around Portland, live music, some great food oh and Portland!
